[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] event: fix check in ring_init() in event ring code

This commit fixes a bug in a 32-bit environment where the
generic ring_init() would fail, but given the interaction
with memzones the next iteration of the event_ring_autotest
would actually *pass* because the ring in question would
exist already an be looked-up.

This commit rightly error checks the result of ring_init(),
and calls rte_free() on the memory as required.

Please consider this for RC3, as it fixes the unit tests
on 32-bit systems.
